Uncheck to disable this function.

Enter the starting and ending IP addresses for the DHCP

server’s IP assignment.

Also known as Static DHCP - allows the router to assign

the same IP address information to a specific computer

on the local network. The specified computer will get the

same DHCP IP address information every time it is turned

on. No other computer on the local network will receive the

specified static DHCP address except for the configured

computer. Static DHCP is very helpful when used for server

computers on the local network that are hosting applications

such as Web and FTP.

DHCP Server Settings

DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Control Protocol. The WBR-2310 has a built-in DHCP server. The DHCP Server will

automatically assign an IP address to the computers on the LAN/private network. Be sure to set your computers to be

DHCP clients by setting their TCP/IP settings to “Obtain an IP Address Automatically.” When you turn your computers on,

they will automatically load the proper TCP/IP settings provided by the WBR-2310. The DHCP Server will automatically

allocate an unused IP address from the IP address pool to the requesting computer. You must specify the starting and

ending address of the IP address pool.

Section 3 - Configuration

The WBR-2310 can be configured as a virtual server so that remote users accessing Web or FTP services via the

public IP address can be automatically redirected to local servers in the LAN (Local Area Network).

The WBR-2310 firewall feature filters out unrecognized

packets to protect your LAN network so all computers

networked with the WBR-2310 are invisible to the

outside world. If you wish, you can make some of

the LAN computers accessible from the Internet by

enabling Virtual Server. Depending on the requested

service, the WBR-2310 redirects the external service

request to the appropriate server within the LAN

network.

The WBR-2310 is also capable of port-redirection

meaning incoming traffic to a particular port may

be redirected to a different port on the server

computer.

Each virtual service that is created will be listed at the

bottom of the screen in the Virtual Servers List.There are

pre-defined virtual services already in the table. You

may use them by enabling them and assigning the

server IP to use that particular virtual service.
